Saurashtra vs Manipur Betting Tips

Manipur to score low before 1st dismissal

Manipur has displayed a disappointing batting front in the competition. They scored mere totals in the competition and do not have a strong squad to compete in the group they are pooled in. Their opening order revolves around Karnajit Yumnam, Ronald Longjam and Basir Rehman who average at 8.3, 27.16 & 10.25 respectively in the competition and look out of form. The team posted scores of 15, 15, 5, 10, 1 & 0 for their opening partnership in the 1st innings of six games. Saurashtra will exploit this weakness with their talented bowlers in the squad. That said, they are expected to lose an early wicket in the next game against Saurashtra.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Saurashtra

This is a one-sided affair. Saurashtra is a much better team in terms of batting and bowling. Saurashtra have won three games in the competition so far whereas Manipur are yet to win a game in the competition. Manipur has a poor squad and will be expected to enter as the weaker side. The sides have never contested in the format but Saurashtra will be looking to earn a few points from a win in their next outing against Manipur.
